With Christmas closing in so fast , I am excited and overjoyed like y'all , that I may go mad with delight.A drive through my neighborhood makes me feel like I am living in the magical town of "Whoville" , with houses and stores gaily decorated and decked up to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
There is happiness where ever you look,whoever you see,forgetting all the troubles they may have.There is hope within the sparkle of their eyes , and radiance on their face ; World indeed looks like a good place to live.

Merry , Merry , Merry ; that's what you feel even in the frosty December air..

Though I am old and wise enough to know Christmas is not all about the gifts , I like having one for myself and for N , and for people I love ! Don't you ?

The two pics above are Christmas-y lights from my home and NYC . The second one is the Christmas tree from Rockefeller center .Doesn't it look like ruby and emerald sparkle of a diamond like star up above the sky? So magical !

For us , the Christmas party has started last week with lovely people , fun times and good food & wine. We have a long list of small Christmas dinners , in the coming weekends and I am so looking forward to each one of those ..mm..2011 Christmas so far looks like the best ever..

On the flip side , I definitely miss my parents and brother and the Christmas back home with cousins , but I am happy we are so blessed with so many loving people here , hence I am indulging in the "merry" around !

I have posted my mom's fish molee recipe in the beginning days of vazhayila , but this is more of a "decked up yet easy " sequel to the original one.

A no fried version , where Salmon is cooked in whole spices and ginger-garlic infused coconut milk and finished with a rich coconut - cashew sauce.

After all , Its Christmas people ! Eat , Drink and be Merry ! The Christ is born!

Merry Christmas Sarah. Fish curry is my fav dish in the world. If I have to eat just dish my whole life, it will be fish curry with chemba choru. But I like fish curry cooked like in your post for Kuttanad meen curry better. That is my fav.

Hi Sarah..A merry christmas and a very happy new year to you and your fly.You have an awesome blog. All the recipes and pictures are just wonderful! Happy to follow you.There are some awards waiting for you at my space. Kindly accept it.

Wonderful post Sarah! Hope you had a great Christmas. Wish you a Happy New Year! Fish molee is my fav too. Bread and fish molee is a classic combination. We make it a little different. We fry the fish a bit before adding it to the curry. All the pics are lovely. The garlic snap is just too too good. :) When are u coming to Kerala. Would love to be your student :)

Beautiful Clicks and an awesome recipe. I just admire all your clicks whenever I visit ur space..

"There is hope within the sparkle of their eyes , and radiance on their face ; World indeed looks like a good place to live. "- Loved this too very poetically expressed and so true..Your blog is one such place too Sarah..Wishing you and ur hubby a happy 2012.

Wonderful to meet you here in vazayila, and read your recipe's too. exceptionally beautiful snaps and how did you manage to add them in such wide format and resolution., please do advice the techniques .

Sapna ..i don't do anything "special" about the pics..there is options with in blogger to change the pic size to from small-xl ...Since i ran out of my pic capacity in blogger , i host it on flickr..tats it :-)..About resolution, i always use the original size from the camera ...Hope this helps..

Hello sarah, I tried this yesterday for my daughters b'day party , everyone loved it very much...... I make your lemon pickle every month, its just perfect for us. Thanks and keep doing updating more recipes.

Dear Honey Sarah,Know what? Sometimes, simple things turn out to be the most aesthetic ones , just due to Nadan flavors…it was the “Kerala Beef Pickle” that impressed us as the first thingy.

Then the rest happened…one of the swells from “God’s own country” made us copy it , “Meen Molee”!
